LAN Whitelist

by OffsetMonkey538

LAN Whitelist lets a singleplayer world opened to LAN accept only the players on its whitelist.

FabricClient and serverMIT LicenseOpen source1.20.2 – 1.21.10

What it does

Opening a singleplayer world to LAN normally lets anyone on the same network join. LAN Whitelist adds a whitelist to such worlds, so the owner can allow only chosen friends, which is useful when running a LAN world alongside mods like e4mc that make it reachable beyond the local network. The whitelist command behaves like the vanilla one, and the list is stored in whitelist.json in the world's lan-whitelist folder. Fabric API is required. The mod runs on client and server, so both sides need it, and it is published for Fabric across 16 release versions, 1.20.2 – 1.21.10, under the MIT License and as open source.

Key features

  1. Whitelisted LAN worlds

    Singleplayer worlds opened to LAN accept only players who appear on the whitelist.

  2. Vanilla-style whitelist command

    The whitelist command works the same way it does on a vanilla server.

  3. Separate whitelist storage

    The list is kept in whitelist.json and enabled.json inside the world's lan-whitelist folder.

What the author says

Allows whitelist to be enabled in Singleplayer worlds. This is useful for only allowing your friends (who hopefully aren't griefers) to join your lan worlds, with mods like e4mc. Just use the /whitelist command, which works exactly like the vanilla one!
